Here's something to add a bit of fun (pun intended, of course) to your
HP system:

A Slashdot discussion on a more intelligent/interactive shell (
http://www.xirium.com/tech/mud-shell/idea/index.html ) resulted in a
piece of Perl code acting as a shell that looks like this (
http://www.xirium.com/tech/mud-shell/example/index.html ).  Since
it's Perl it should be able to run on a 3K with minor modifications.

What a delight!  A shell that responds like a text adventure.  Ahh the
memories....

Enjoy,
Curtis


PS: Of course the idea of a reasonably intelligent shell still isn't a
bad one -- especially for newbies.  I remember something called "keysh"
which was quite nice, and EASYTIME is still available/usable is it not?
Of course the advent of GUI products like GUI-3000 obviate the need for
(more) intelligent shells (...or do they?)
